Exporting & Reports

Generate client-ready reports and closeout bundles for documentation and commissioning.

Export Options

NetMap Pro offers multiple export formats to fit different needs:

Format	Best For	Where to Find
PDF Report	Client handoff, closeout documentation	Devices tab → Export button
CSV	Spreadsheet import, data processing	Devices tab → Export button
Closeout ZIP	Single-file handoff bundle	Devices tab → Export menu → Closeout Pack
Doctor PDF	Connectivity test reports	Doctor tab → History → Export PDF

Device Report (PDF)

The device report opens as a formatted page in a new browser tab, designed for printing to PDF. This approach lets you preview the report and customize print settings (page size, orientation, margins) before saving. It includes all devices in the project with their names, IPs, MACs, manufacturers, types, and notes.

Go to the Devices tab and click the Export button.
Select "PDF Report" — A new tab opens with the formatted report.
Print to PDF — Press Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on Mac), select "Save as PDF" as the printer, and save the file.

The report includes:

Project name and generation date
Device table with all fields
Color-coded device types
Clean, professional formatting suitable for client handoff

Tip: In the print dialog, uncheck "Headers and footers" for a cleaner PDF without browser URL stamps. In Chrome, this is under "More settings."

Filtering: You can filter the device table by type or status before exporting. Only the currently visible devices are included in the report — useful if you only want to export cameras or network gear.

CSV Export

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) export gives you a spreadsheet-compatible file with all device data. This is useful for importing into Excel, Google Sheets, or other tools.

Go to the Devices tab and click the Export button.
Select "CSV" — The file downloads immediately.
Open in your spreadsheet app — Double-click the downloaded .csv file to open it in Excel or Google Sheets.

The CSV includes these columns:

Device Name
IP Address
MAC Address
Manufacturer
Device Type
Location
Notes
Reserved IP

Excel and special characters: The CSV is exported in UTF-8 encoding. If Excel shows garbled characters for special symbols, open Excel first, then use File → Open (not double-click) and select "UTF-8" as the encoding in the import wizard. Google Sheets handles UTF-8 automatically.

Closeout Pack (ZIP)

Closeout Pack creates a single ZIP archive for project handoff. It is ideal for job folders and client deliverables.

Go to Devices and open the Export menu.
Select "Closeout Pack" - NetMap Pro builds a ZIP with key project exports.
Attach to your handoff - send the ZIP to your PM, programmer, or client file system.

The ZIP includes handoff artifacts (device CSV/JSON, client handoff CSV, tech detail CSV, summary text, and router log JSON). Connection Doctor PDF reports are exported separately.

Connection Doctor Report

Export connectivity test results as a detailed report. This is separate from the device export and lives in the Doctor tab.

Go to the Doctor tab and scroll to the Test History section.
Check the boxes next to the test runs you want to include.
Click "Export PDF" — A new tab opens with the formatted report.
Print to PDF — Use Ctrl+P and "Save as PDF."

The doctor report includes:

Project name and report generation date
Timestamp for each test run
Per-device result cards with all 7 diagnostic checks
Color-coded pass/warning/fail indicators
Open ports list for each device

Multiple runs in one report: Select several test runs to generate a combined report. This is useful for before/after comparisons — run Connection Doctor before making changes, then again after, and export both runs together.

Report Best Practices

Name devices before exporting - "MBR Camera 1" reads better than "Unknown Device (192.168.1.101)"
Set device types - type labels add context for clients and programmers
Add location notes - helps the next technician find equipment quickly
Run Connection Doctor first - include health evidence with the handoff
Save and compare snapshots - confirm what changed before generating closeout files
Use a single handoff package - include the closeout ZIP and (if needed) a Connection Doctor PDF for complete documentation
